HIP-HOP SUPERSTAR NOTORIOUS B.I.G.’S MOVIE “LIFE AFTER DEATH” GOES MOBILE WITH MOTEK

For Immediate Release
Monday, March 12, 2007
NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Motek Mobile has announced an exclusive deal with Spire Candidate LLC to offer never-seen-before video clips, audio tracks and photos featuring Notorious B.I.G. and other hip-hop superstars Diddy, Lil’ Kim, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Mary J. Blige, Junior MAFIA, The Lox and many more to wireless subscribers across North America as mobile video, wallpaper, theme, and ringtone downloads. The deal commemorates the 10th anniversary of Biggie’s death on March 9th, 1997.

Two weeks after being killed in a shooting, Notorious B.I.G.’s album “Life After Death” was released and went on to sell over 18 million copies, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Ten years later, “Life After Death: The Movie” chronicles the music family he left behind from 1997 to 2007 in an epic story of friendship and betrayal. After B.I.G.’s death, his right-hand man, Damion “D-Roc” Butler manages rap stars Lil’ Kim and Junior MAFIA through a decade of triumph and tragedy as they live, work and travel the world together ending with the infamous Hot 97 shootout that landed Lil’ Kim and D-Roc in federal prison.

The movie, collaborated closely with Bad Boy Records head Sean “Diddy” Combs and Notorious B.I.G.’s mother Voletta Wallace, and narrated by Jamie Hector from HBO’s hit series “The Wire”, contains rare footage of Biggie, live performances and behind-the-scenes music video footage of the “First Family” of hip-hop, which will all be available for wireless download.

“We’re honored to be a part of this project”, said Tyler Weichel, CEO of Motek Mobile. “Biggie is one of the most influential superstars in hip-hop history. To offer this rare mobile content to our subscriber base and to perpetuate Biggie’s incredible legacy through wireless is truly exciting”.

"We're thrilled about our partnership with Motek and to offer the movie to mobile phone users and hip-hop’s massive following" said Roget Romain, Co-President of Spire Candidate LLC. "Motek is one of the most respected mobile media companies in the industry. We’re extremely happy to be a part of the team”.
